Delita Martin: Calling Down the Spirits


  • National Museum of Women in the Arts 1250 New York Avenue Northwest Washington, DC, 20005 United States (map)

An exhibition on works by multimedia artist Delita Martin that combine tradition with innovation. Through her rigorous and meticulously layered process, Martin creates a new iconography for African Americans, and claims space for her subjects, particularly black women—a powerful presence that simultaneously highlights the historical absence of black bodies in Western art.

Access the online exhibition.
